AnonD-106548, 19 Apr 2013What's wrong with plastic really??! Does it cuts your hands... moreFor me, it is just don't like to see a cheap plastic look in my hand, that is it. I really like the features and hardware of Galaxy4, I give 10 out of 10, but I prefer to have phone that score 9 out of 10 in performance and feature but also mark score 10 out of 10 in look and built quality... Actually I am using HTC Butterfly and it is the perfect combination of performance vs design, maybe the One is even better...

AnonD-106548, 19 Apr 2013What's wrong with plastic really??! Does it cuts your hands... moreNo doubt this is a very well spec'ed phone. It is the impressiveness of the phone that makes many complain about the plastic casing. It is like buying the best spec'ed Ferrari with a plastic interior.
I really hate it when the shiny plastic gets slightly oily - feels yucky. For that matter, I do not like glass finishing as well. Metallic matte finishing is the best.
Apart from the look and feel, there is some functional advantage of aluminum casing. Check out the drop test between the S3 and iPhone.

Don't fix what isn't broken. Samsung's exterior design is pure function. It fits the controls and the great 5" display as minimally as possible. HTC One already looks cluttered with its speakers on the front, design lines on the back and unnecessary beats audio branding. Functional is timeless whereas trying to be fashionable looks bad sooner than you think.

FYI, you cannot even attach multiple file types of email attachments into a single email on WP8. Try it yourself. See if you can attach a word docu and an excel file together in a single email? So much for a smart phone OS which can't even do simple task like this.
WP8 is the worst mobile OS I ever used TBH.

Why do you people like to carry much heavier materials like glass or metal? Don't you know polycarbonate or plastic are more resistance to scratches? But anyways, if plastics is hitting you right in the nerves, go back to your more "premium" phones then. Someone else who appreciate S4 will take your place in queue for the phone.

Samsung? That was the hardware supplier for Apple chips, which got out of deals in favor of another Asian manufacturer?

Considering most people use covers, sleeves, and/or protective cases on their phone. Why is it a big deal about the look/design of the S4 when the back will be covered?

But of course, 810 mark is still slow compared to 100~ on PC/laptops.
